royal flush draw with top pair and blockers on the straight is a monster favourite over basically anything that checks to you. bet bet bet.

if these are nontricky players (which they are at 1/2c) then you can raise the river because he should never have a boat there. two pair or better would bet the turn after everyone checks flop, no? but flushes and maybe a 3 may pay you off.

+1 to playing faster. I'm 3-betting every time here with the Ace blocker and nut hearts. I think a major mistake most PLO players make is not 3-betting enough, especially in position. It opens up your image so much that you'll be able to get it in with AAxx more often when people start playing back at you.

Also, why did you check back the flop? You have two blockers to the hand you're worried about, nut flush draw, TPTK, and position on both of your opponents. It's cool, I know you're still learning, but that's about as much of a "bet" as you get in PLO!

And on the river I think I might raise for value, even if it's just a min-raise. But that might be marginal, I'm not really sure at these stakes. My thinking is that you can pretty comfortably fold to a re-raise and that you're going to get a lot of value from smaller flushes who aren't folding to a river min-raise in $2 PLO.

Yeah, in PLO and poker in general, you don't win a lot of money by check calling. Only three betting with AAxx pre is a big mistake.
Also OOP three betting AAxx can be a mistake depending on table dynamics and your risk tolerence and of course the xx.

It definately takes more time to read the board and your cards in PLO, so take as much time as you need and play fewer tables. The last thing you want to do is get it all in thinking you have a boat and then realize you only have trips.

At first it isn't too bad to undervalue your flush on a paired board until you get more comfortable with what others are showing down with. At pennies though, I would imagine a lot of players are still thinking like NLHE and you could call/raise wider.

Thanks guys, I think I need to re-read the post-flop chapter in Hwangs book.

Also going to be watching 2x6 by Vanessa Selbst from DC, she apparently has two 1 hour vids dedicated to aggression, and I remember in the first vid she was going on about how everyone plays too passively even at 2/4 and 3/6, although the vids were made in mid 2008 so I'm sure the games have changed somewhat.
